Shore 7

Țărm 7

2010 · oil on canvas · 78 × 78 cm

A bank rises at the right of the canvas, with white and cream rocks worked with the knife and an olive-green slope above; towards the left the ground falls away and is lost in a grey haze that erases the horizon. At the foot of the bank a dark line marks the water's edge. In the lower right corner three narrow boats lie on the sand side by side, their gunwales drawn in brown and black. The sky, more than half the surface, is a cloudless pearl-grey. The light is even and cold; the boats give the only measure of scale.

Painted at Vama Veche, like the whole „Țărm” (Shore) series — established by the family, August 2026.

Related works

The „Țărm” (Shore) series — eight works between 1990 and 2010, the sea always seen from above, from the rock. The rock is the cliff at Vama Veche: all eight were painted there, established by the family in August 2026. With them, the seaside stops being a single year's exception and becomes a place he returned to for twenty years.
